As Rebecca Lobo enters the Hall of Fame and takes her place with basketball's greats, so does Donald "Dee" Rowe.

The former UConn men's basketball coach received the John W. Bunn Lifetime Achievement Award from the Naismith Hall of Fame this week, marking his decades of contributions to basketball. Rowe, UConn's men's basketball coach from 1969-77 and still a beloved, every-day figure on campus, joins the company of Red Auerbach, John Wooden, Pat Summitt, Joe O'Brien, Dave Gavitt and Bob Cousy, who nominated Rowe for the award and sat with him in Springfield on Thursday night.
